colleen christian burke is an interior designer part of multiple decorating teams for michelle obama this year and laura bush in 2008. she's the author of "chris ma mass with the first ladies" from jacqueline kennedy to michelle obama. thanks for being with us. if you can start with this year's theme, gather round. what did it take to pull the white house together for christmas this year? >> gather round is a theme mrs. obama picked. she always cuts too the heart of the matter and 85 of us got together on thanksgiving night to start working for six days straight to pull the white house into the spectacular shape that it is now. so it was a great deal of fun and a lot of work. >> your book deals with hoe all of the first ladies through the years did the white house over the years. i have a vision that hillary is less into the first lady thing than others. is that right or wrong? >> that's absolutely wrong. that was my impression too. i thought she was going to be not so into it. she had other things little bit. but she really recreated christmas every year and she was spectacular. >>
